Six Flags Magic Mountain announced updated health and safety policies in compliance with state and local county mandates for theme parks as outdoor mega events. In accordance with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, effective October 7, guests 12 and older will be required to show proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test (PCR or antigen) within 72 hours prior to visiting the park on designated days, which will be reflected on the park’s website. All visitors 18 and older will also be required to show photo identification, effective November 1.   

Six Flags Magic Mountain has established operational guidelines and procedures for days which could potentially attract visitors to the “mega event” levels as provided in the County mandates. All policies will be adjusted on an as-needed basis to ensure compliance with state and county requirements related to COVID-19. 

To expedite and streamline the process of park entry on these designated days, Six Flags Magic Mountain is partnering with CLEAR, an experienced leader in workplace and travel security. In conjunction with CLEAR, guests will be able to use the CLEAR app and digital vaccine card feature for proof of vaccination. CLEAR’s digital vaccine card is a free, mobile experience on the CLEAR app, which securely connects a person’s verified identity to their proof of vaccination, to reduce public health risk.  

“We are pleased to be working with CLEAR—a proven leader in contactless solutions—to provide a safe, efficient method for vaccine verification,” said Six Flags Magic Mountain President Don McCoy.  “The safety and well-being of our guests and team members is always our top priority, and this partnership is a key component of that continued focus,” added McCoy.   

To assist guests who are not fully vaccinated, or not able to show proof of full vaccination, or a negative test, Six Flags Magic Mountain will have on-site rapid COVID-19 testing available on select days free of charge. For more information visit our website.

On days that are designated as mega event days, in compliance with updated county mandates, guests two and older will be required to wear masks at all times, including while outdoors, except when eating or drinking. On days not designated as mega event days, vaccination or negative test verification will not be required, however everyone over the age of two will continue to be required to wear face masks at all indoor locations regardless of vaccination status. This includes indoor haunted maze attractions during Fright Fest. 

Six Flags Magic Mountain will require all guests to comply with these updated safety measures including Members, Season Pass Holders, and single-day or group ticket purchasers 12 and older.   

Updated Safety Protocols on Designated Mega Event Days 

• Easy-to-identify signage for designated entry lanes at the Park’s entrance will be in place for full vaccination verification and negative test verification;

How the CLEAR App Works 

• Download and Enroll: Users download the free CLEAR app HERE, tap the blue digital vaccine card tile, and then enroll by verifying their identity and snapping a quick selfie.  
• Proof of Vaccination: There are multiple ways users can add proof of vaccination. Users can scan a SMART QR code like those provided by California, directly link to a vaccine provider or pharmacy in CLEAR’s nationwide network, or directly upload their CDC vaccination card. 
• Expedited Entry: Once their digital vaccine card is created, users can enjoy expedited entry to Six Flags Magic Mountain as well as the benefit of a mobile digital vaccine card that they can use anytime and anywhere they need.  
• Privacy First: Privacy and security are at the core of everything CLEAR does. With CLEAR’s digital vaccine card, users are always in control of their information. COVID-related information, including vaccination info, is stored in a highly secure environment.
